The workhorse that started it all, elevated to Custom Shop perfection. This brand-new '51 Nocaster is a masterclass in vintage feel and modern playability. Finished in a stunning Nocaster Blonde Deluxe Closet Classic (LCC) lacquer, it sports the subtle finish checking and aged hardware of a guitar that has been cherished for decades without being "beat up." Under the hood, this Nocaster is built for performance, featuring a resonant 2-piece Off-Center Ash body and a stout 1951 "U" neck profile that feels substantial and rewarding in the hand. The Hand-Wound Twisted Tele pickups break from tradition in the best way possible, offering high-output character with a touch of Strat-like sparkle in the neck. At a featherweight 6 lbs 13 oz, this is a world-class T-style guitar that balances historical mojo with incredible tactile response.
